If you could get your hands on any iconic prop or wardrobe piece used by your favorite character, what would it be?

For eleven seasons, The Walking Dead redefined television, giving us unforgettable characters, brutal emotional arcs, and world-class practical effects. Now, fans have a chance to own a piece of that legacy, with more than 1,000 lots of on-screen props, hero costumes, vehicles, weapons, and prosthetics available through Heritage Auctions.

Among the standout pieces:

• Daryl Dixon’s hero crossbow (Seasons 1–3)

• Rick Grimes’ Sheriff hat and .357 Magnum (Season 1)

• Michonne’s katana and sheath (Season 3)

• Negan’s barbed-wire bat, “Lucille” (Seasons 6–10)

• Daryl’s Custom Triumph Bonneville chopper (Seasons 1–4)

As Greg Nicotero said, “These aren’t just props and costumes, they’re touchstones of a show that redefined modern television.”

It’s amazing to think how much power an iconic prop or costume can hold, not just as a collectible, but as a piece of storytelling history.

So here’s my question for you:

If you could get your hands on any iconic prop or wardrobe piece from your favorite film, show, or character, what would it be and why does it resonate with you?

Leonardo Ramirez 2

Both - The suit and the grappler gun.

Suzanne Bronson

I would want Fox Mulder's nameplate. That was my favorite show, never missed a Friday night. Named my first cat "Spooky" Mulder. Who lived to 19. I even met Chris Carter when I was working as an extra for a show on Amazon (I don't think it came to be.) He loved that I named my cat and even took pictures of my cat from my phone. Nerded out :)

Maurice Vaughan

The Talkboy from Home Alone 2, Ashley Renee Smith. I had one growing up. I loved recording things on it! It made me feel like I was in the movie.

Suzanne Bronson

That's cool Leonardo Ramirez 2 I probably could have one made, now that you say that.. Gandalf's staff would be awesome too. I probably would never get a date again! :/

Charles Brummett

I was fortunate to have a dinosaur from a iconic movie along with the wardrobe pants from TWD and Tupac pants

Leonardo Ramirez 2

With Gandalf's staff Suzanne Bronson - the right person will come running.

Alexandra Stevens

Ooh that's a fun question ! I would have the umbrella that flies from Mary Poppins or the vintage racing car from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

Suzanne Bronson

Haha Alexandra Stevens that is such a British answer. ;) XOXOX

Wendy Kay

Star Wars lightsaber. I love the movies and the idea of the "Force". No matter where you came from or started from doesn't determine how you will end up. You are in control of your destiny only.

Geoff Hall

Ashley Renee Smith Deckard’s blaster-gun! Or Steve McQueen’s Mustang from Bullitt. Yeah, the Mustang wins I think…

Erika Kranz

Oh that would be a vintage Chanel from The movie Coco Chanel.

Ashley Renee Smith

Leonardo Ramirez 2 Great pick!!! I’d also add the Bat Mobile from Batman Forever.

Ashley Renee Smith

That’s a fun one, Suzanne Bronson! X-Files is one of my BFF’s favorite shows, too.

Ashley Renee Smith

Maurice Vaughan That’s such a good pick! The Talkboy was one of those movie props that instantly became a pop culture icon. It’s amazing how something so simple could make you feel like you were part of the adventure. I wanted one so badly!

Ashley Renee Smith

Charles Brummett That’s incredible, talk about a collector’s dream lineup! Do you ever display them or keep them stored safely?

Ashley Renee Smith

Alexandra Stevens both so whimsical and full of movie magic! The Mary Poppins umbrella would be amazing to have, especially with its little parrot handle. And the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car? That’s pure nostalgia! I get Truly Scrumptious randomly stuck in my head all the time.

Ashley Renee Smith

Love that, Wendy Kay! Is there a particular lightsaber that you would want? Luke’s? Obi’s? Anakin’s?

Diana Restich

Hands down, absolutely to die for the white satin coat lined with orange-gold sequins and matching sequined dress (reverse cowl neck) designed by Ray Aghayan for Doris Day in 'Do Not Disturb'. ANY wardrobe Audrey Hepburn wore, actually any womens wardrobe designed by Edith Head....she was genius!

Ashley Renee Smith

Excellent choices, Geoff Hall, both absolute legends! Deckard’s blaster is one of the coolest sci-fi props ever made, but that Mustang is cinematic history on wheels. There’s something timeless about it.

Ashley Renee Smith

That would be such an elegant choice, Erika Kranz!

Ashley Renee Smith

Oh, I love that answer, Diana Restich, impeccable taste!

Wendy Kay

That is a hard question to answer. All are cool, but I would take Luke's lightsaber. He represents coming from a place of nowhere to living out his wildest dreams and succeeding!

Adelaide Genpreneur

Ashley Renee Smith For me a cloak/cape/or garment that reflect my new roll in life.

Brandon Keeton

For me, it would have to be the "three sword" from "The Sword and the Sorcerer". 80's high fantasy camp at it's best!

Leonardo Ramirez 2

I remember that sword Brandon Keeton!

Jermar Jerome Smith

Brandon Adams ‘Jesse Hall’s’ Hendrix Team USA jersey from D2: The Mighty Ducks

Nas ‘Sincere’ Jean Paul Gaultier glasses from ‘Belly’

2pac’s Styer Aug from the film ‘Bullet’

Woody Harrelson’s red lenses Jean Paul Gaultier’s from Natural Born Killers

Ashley Renee Smith

That’s such a great choice, Wendy Kay, and a beautiful way to look at it. Luke’s lightsaber isn’t just an iconic prop, it’s a symbol of growth, perseverance, and hope.

Ashley Renee Smith

That’s an awesome pick! The Sword and the Sorcerer is such a gem of 80s fantasy, Brandon Keeton!

Ashley Renee Smith

Those are some seriously iconic choices, Jermar Jerome Smith! Each one of those pieces represents such a distinct moment in film and pop culture, especially those glasses. Personally, I would LOVE a Charlie Conway jersey from the original Mighty Ducks.
